Well I still haven't decided what I am going to do. I have that job offer plus two others here in Atlanta. We will see which one is the best. Although one of the offers here is one that I've been wanting for a while now, so.......we shall see

Thanks guys for all your help. We will see what happens.

I don't know why anyone would move to Hartford, CT from ATL of all plalces. I'm from the north and things are much different up there. People are mean up north compared to here and the cost of living will get you. If you're going to be making 10k more than you already make now, I'd consider but if its 5k more than you make and you have bills I'd seriously pass on it because ATL is worth taking a little less since you get SO much more with the city.

Connecticut and all of New England in general is a beutiful place to live. I lived in Hartford for 5 years. I moved because I got sick of snow and cold. Most of the people aren't as bad as they have been made out to be in this thread. However, home prices and energy costs are much more expensive than here. Also taxes will get you in Connecticut as will auto insurance costs. My auto insurance dropped by nearly 30% when I moved to ATL. Everything else costs about the same. If you decide to move up there, I would suggest looking at moving to either Rocky Hill, or Glastonbury. Both are reasonable priced areas and are nice places to live. Stay away from East Hartford. Hope my 2 cents help.

If someone up north likes you they like you, if they dont they dont and arent afraid to tell you.

Being from Boston, I can tell you it's nicer down here for sure. Cost of living is definitely higher, and it's colder. You'll have to deal with shitty New England winters. Stay here lol

I'd say it depends on your rent/expenses here. $7k more a year translates to about $200 more per paycheck which is roughly $400 more per month. You'll probably spend about $200-$300 more on rent up there than down here... so you're not looking at that much of a raise... especially once you take moving costs into account (or are they paying those?).

Anyways, $7k (~1/5 of your salary) at your pay level isn't enough for you to only consider that factor when thinking about a big move like that.

Look up some conneticut message boards and talk to the folks there and see what they think

**Julio** · 10-29-2005, 09:53 PM

She can move into the ghetto up there and she will become a ghetto queen =]

But honestly, All jokes aside, why do you ask this in a public forum? Especially in the WL?

**Kristi** · 10-30-2005, 01:51 PM

i was just curious about what it was like up north. i've lived in ga my entire life, so i don't know what it is like. i wanted peoples opinions on how it is up there and stuff like that.

**Julio** · 10-30-2005, 07:02 PM

up north sucks. Is only good for visiting and thats it. Lived In Jersey, NYC and MASS..

Well think about the diff states of the North. Lets see NJ, Illinois, NY and plenty other states all have the type of people that are rude and blunt. I for one can speak for the north. For anyone who ever decides to move there be prepared if you don't like shit said to your face. Thats just how it is.

**Scrappy** · 10-30-2005, 07:31 PM

K nikki, thats not just the north, thats everywhere and the truth at most times. I for one and from that area and still have a house and entire family, I love it and would move back if I didnt view it as my peaceful time away from the city down here.

**Deaf Pimp** · 10-30-2005, 07:32 PM

Yea, the north usually had a stereotype like that. I agree with Krissy, its not just up north, its all over.

I understand its not just the north, but there is more rude people up there than anywhere else. I have lived on the west coast as well, the south does have rude people but they won't say shit to your face.

And its not a sterotype either.

**Julio** · 10-30-2005, 07:40 PM

Who cares what other people say about you.. atleast you guys are white... hahahahaha Just imagine being another race...

**Darling Nikki** · 10-30-2005, 07:43 PM

^lol, I get called a cracker at my work by a couple of people. I think its funny. lol

**Scrappy** · 10-30-2005, 07:44 PM

I lived there how long? And still visit quite often, dont see much different in the people besides trendiness, accents, weather, and structural differences. I believe literally EVERY state has rude people, selfish people, fake people, and any other "type" that others dont like, not just a specific spot in the US...

I love the north, especially for living standards, just because of the fact that every city looks different and has different styles.

Then you don't like Atlanta, lolol. Later, QD.

**Darling Nikki** · 10-30-2005, 07:53 PM

I know you lived up there for a long time. And I know that there are rude people in every state. I am just stating the obvious. The north is known for people that are more upfront and in your face than most places in the US. Not trying to piss anyone off here but I can tell you a true example. My stepmom, is a TRUE Southern woman. Nice as hell, sweet, caring etc. Now my dad on the other hand grew up in downtown chicago and is one rude, mean ass mofo and so is my entire family when it comes to having shit in the open. Fine maybe I won't say ALL THE NORTH. But I will speak for chicago.
